Criminology, Law, & Policing
The strong team within Criminology, Law, and Policing have a wealth of experience working with experts by experience and vulnerable populations, especially prison-leavers. Their research focuses on pertinent social issues, often working with Welsh Government to shape policy, and regularly includes minoritized or excluded voices.
Recently, members of the team partnered with Public Health Wales to create and launch a brand new animation explainer on trauma – the video is an excellent resource to help services or businesses become more trauma-informed, and Wrexham University is the first university in Wales to be evaluated by Public Health Wales. This work links closely to our Civic Mission of becoming a trauma-informed institution.
The research in this department is undertaken with the ethos of social inclusion, fitting within the new Social Inclusion Research Centre: Cyfiawnder, launched in January 2023. Take a look at Cyfiawnder web pages for the latest research on Welsh housing policy and preventing homelessness amongst prison leavers.
